About the author

Todd McFarlane is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the epic occult fantasy series Spawn.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. In 1992, he helped form Image Comics, pulling the occult anti-hero character Spawn from his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties.

In recent years, McFarlane has illustrated comic books less often, focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, such as McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, a film and animation studio.

In September, 2006, it was announced that McFarlane will be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, founded by Curt Schilling.

McFarlane used to be co-owner of National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers but sold his shares to Daryl Katz. He's also a high-profile collector of history-making baseballs.

[TheMadReader · Rating 3 out of 5]

This latest deluxe vol 6 collects issues 126-150. I never made it this far into Spawn during the early 2000’s and now as I’m reading this well in my late 30’s, I’m perplexed at how I want to rate this. On one hand, I appreciate the art, the writing isn’t as bad as everyone said it is and well…there is some type of ongoing storyline however, this shit drags. It pulls and tugs and drags yet, there’s no end in sight. First he’s Spawn, then he’s back to being Al Simmons, then he’s back to being Spawn, then there’s some whack filler issue with him saving kids then back to being an evil hellspawn, then back to dealing with a Hell master even though Spawn defeated a previous hell master and became King of Hell, and so it goes on and on. In the end, you’re left a bit confused and underwhelmed. The art carries most of this. I feel like I’m stuck in the middle of a Spanish Novela, waiting to see if he ends up with Wanda in the end.

I’ll keep reading these in deluxe copies as they’re released. They look great on the shelf.
